The women who survive are healthier and stronger and so have better health than women in other nations.

These countries have poor education and are likely to be deprived of education and medical care and thus have poorer outcomes

There is no difference in the health of women based on the gender ratio within a country.

All countries have more men than women so it is not possible to compare women’s health outcomes based on sex ratios.

Civic engagement is associated with higher levels of civil unrest and violence.

1. Why has the emergence of HIV resulted in a resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) globally?

Answer: HIV and TB are associated with poor social conditions so people just tend to encounter both at the same time

Poverty and living conditions Poverty is also a factor in the high rates of tuberculosis seen in immigrants18 . The displacement of populations due to war or natural disasters leads to crowding and malnutrition which are likely to foster tuberculosis21 . High rates of tuberculosis, often in association with HTV, have also been found in prisons.

2. Which one of the following statements is true about countries that have a high male to female ratio?

Answer:The women who survive are healthier and stronger and so have better health than women in other nations

Differences in mortality rates and life expectancy for women and men. Women, on average, live longer than men. This means that all else being equal, we would expect females to account for slightly more than half of the total population.

3. In what way can social connectivity and social capital negatively impact health?

Answer:Poorer groups may have fewer connections and so be excluded from programs and decision making

Social capital producing negative outcomes is generally called as negative social capital. The potential downsides include restrictions on individual freedom, excess claims on group members and exclusion of outsiders. ... Social capital is all about bridging the gap between the rich and the poor.

4. At which level of prevention should HIV programs be targeted to make the largest reduction in the prevalence of the disease and the cost of treating it?

Answer: Secondary

Primary HIV prevention reduces the incidence of transmission (e.g., fewer people become HIV infected), whereas secondary HIV prevention reduces the prevalence and severity of the disease through early detection and prompt intervention (e.g., fewer HIV-positive people progress to AIDS)
